Satellite Communications with Sarlink

Success stories

Starlink Deployment

Jun 24, 2024

Meta Eagle were approached by a large scale utility and projects provider who specialise in water and waste water solutions.

We were tasked with connecting their spoke project sites in the UK back to their head office. The problem that they faced was that the sites are neither static for a great deal of time nor did we have much time to get comunications establisheds so the site and project team could work reliably.

The current LTE solution was not fast enough which impeeded work, introducing Leased Lines would take too long. Having expertise in delivering communications into hard to reach places, Meta Eagle were asked to find an alternate solution which would also allow the introduction of a Managed Firewall ao we could have visability of the site.

Quick turnaround with Satellite solutions and 5G Failover

Our team rapidly deployed to site, installed, configured and setup various managed Starlink deployments which allowed the managed networks and Firewalls to connect back to head office. These solutions also utilised the existing simcards and routers to provide 5G failover should there ever be a connection issue on the primary satellite link

The results were dramatic. Bandwidth amd throughput increased by over 100%, latency  fell by 75%, which means the staff could be productive in connecting to onsite and cloud resource the company was thrilled with the improvements and has since hired Meta Eagle for additional projects.

Portablility

Inspired by previous mobile deployments wehave built thesystem was all contained within aflightcase so when eventually the site is torn down, it can be contained within the flight case and moved to the next project

Managed Cabling Installed

Terminating vai a managed Firewall and a stron internet connection is one thing, but because the site spans 2,000 SQFT across multiple floors it was important that there was reliable connectivity to devices such as MFD printers but also strong Wireless coverage throughout the building. As part of this deployment we installed Cat6a cabling throughout meaning we could connect the required devices

Managed Wireless

As members of staff were mobile with laptops and there was a need for Wireless ocverage we also deployed a managed wireless solution on all floors. This guaranteed wireless coverage thoughout the building, which previously was not possible with the small LTE devices that were onsite

Fully Managed Network

Previously there was no visability of the sites from Head Office. installing a fully managed network has now allowed the inhouse I.T Team to monitor, sercure and analyse the traffic coming form site

We are not your average Technicians

For the Starlink connection to work correctly, it is important that it has what is called 'Line of Site' this means ultimately the dish needs to be located where it has an unostructed view to the sky. To acheive this, we went above and beyond. Buillding a custom frame so the dish cold be mounted on the top of a 2 storey building , utilising a crane and cherry picker

With the dish mounted on the roof of the 2 story building we securely mounted it to make sure that it would be protected against the elements
Adapt, improvise and overcome - We had to make sure the dish was secure

Starlink Priority giving you managed analytics

Visability

Finally we are able to have complete visability and control of the connection

Prior to the Starlink solution provided by Meta Eagle there was no way to see statistics on the connection that you might look for in a conventional internet connection. With Starlink priority you can see real time statisticks sucj a throughput, signal quality and latency
